Right hooks are something you have to anticipate. Blinkers help. Using a rear view mirror helps more.

As someone said earlier, it is the law in California that you have to merge into (or across) the bike lane before you arrive at the intersection to make a right turn. My local DMV office has a bike lane right in front of it, and they use the opportunity to include making a a right turn across it in the driving test. Almost everyone screws that one up.

Edit to add: It's also an automatic fail of the driving test. My son failed his first driving test that way. Nice, eh?
